Canada, Our Canada – music & lyrics by Jean Kay
I am excited to share the video of the first public concert where my song Canada, Our Canada was performed on April 28, 2017. Elder College Singers of Delta, BC is the group I belong to and it was part of our Celebrating Canada’s 150th concert series.
Please leave a comment below, I would love some feedback on this new anthem.

Canada, Our Canada – New Song for Canada’s 150th
Wow! Today my singing group, Elder College Singers, sang the song I have created for Canada’s 150th Anniversary. What a thrilling feeling to hear it played and to sing it with the group. I will be posting more about Canada, Our Canada in the near future. So excited! #GIS2017 #EBC #Canada150 #JeanKayPoet

CELEBRATING CANADA
CELEBRATING CANADA
Let’s celebrate Canada every day,
not just July 1st each year,
remembering how fortunate
we are to be living here.
We have so many opportunities
and also the freedom to choose.
Participating is what’s important,
no matter if we win or lose.
We can express opinions
on all topics to which we relate,
by word of mouth or in print—
that’s a big reason to celebrate.
Natural beauty is evident
in this vast country of ours,
rivers, lakes, mountains, forests,
meadows – I could go on for hours.
Appreciate all your surroundings,
both near to you and far,
whether you’re walking close to home
or going for a drive in your car.
Take a quiet moment
to be grateful, to feel at peace,
it empowers body, soul and mind
and allows stress to be released.
Celebrate with family and friends,
associates and neighbours too.
Be aware of your surroundings
and treasure each unique view.
Jean Kay
Have a safe and wonder-filled long weekend everyone.
Happy Canada Day
